AUSTERE-T

AUSTERE-T

The Austere-T desk lamp with LED lighting is a sober design, or as the designer himself describes it; “A little bell-shaped light that is reminiscent of a lantern or streetlight. It appears to feel at home anywhere. The power of
its simplicity makes it a straightforward object but with a mysterious lamination. The structure of the bracket is subtle and functional. With its limited number of parts, alternative models can be developed for a wall, floor or ceiling.”

Hans Verstuyft has been working as an architect since 1992 and finds that a sober design is essential in these days of excess. Regarding the choice of name for his design: “I wanted a word that suggests ‘calm, no-frill, subtle’. So I came upon the term ‘austere’, which works in English and French as well. I found the word very appropriate, almost evident and expresses in a straightforward manner what the lamp is.”
